Nate Jones – Guitar and Vocals

Nate Jones is a young singer/songwriter who carves his folky, soulful sound from the same bedrock as Paul Simon, James Taylor, and Stephen Stills. Jones is a troubadour in the old-school tradition. A Cleveland native, he launched his music career while attending college in New Orleans. The town left its swampy mark on Jones, who became a regular performer at venues like Tipitina’s and Howlin’ Wolf Club, where he spiked his coffeehouse folk songs with soulful vocal melodies and intricate, funky fretwork on the acoustic guitar.

After growing his following with club dates across the country, he returned to Cleveland and teamed up with pop producer Dave Douglas (former drummer and founding member of the Grammy-nominated pop-punk band Relient K). Nate can also be booked with his full band, The Nate Jones Band.

  Wonderful and Accommodating Musician for our Wedding

  From the initial phone conversation to the ceremony and reception music, Nate Jones was wonderful! Guests kept asking where we found such a great musician and were impressed by his ability to play music from different genres and decades in an accurate and beautiful way. We highly recommend Nate (and CMG) for any event!

  Great addition to the perfect wedding!

  Having Nate Jones and DJ AK was a perfect addition to our wedding day. Nate Jones was easily able to adapt to our ceremony music requests and learned songs that were special to our relationship. DJ AK was then able to seamlessly transition from the acoustic sound of Nate Jones, through the cocktail hour, dinner, and then knew how to get the party started on the dance floor! DJ AK took the time to get to know us as a couple and make sure the day was running smoothly. THANK YOU TO THEM BOTH!

  Truly Amazing

  We hired Nate Jones to perform at our ceremony and cocktail hour and he did not disappoint! He was amazing. His voice provided the perfect background for cocktail hour and we received numerous compliments throughout the night about his playing and music selection. Our night would not have been the same had it not been for Nate. Thank you so much for providing another great memory for us to add to our wedding!

  Can’t Say Enough Good Things!

  I seriously can’t say enough good things about our experience with Cleveland Music Group. We contracted two groups – guitarist Nate Jones for our cocktail hour and DJ DC for our reception. Nate set the perfect tone for our evening. DJ DC followed and did not disappoint. The dance floor was packed the entire night, right up until the last song. In addition, DJ DC was amazing in terms of planning for the big day. We had a phone conversation where we reviewed how the big day would go. He was thorough and attentive, and he delivered! Plus, we provided CDs of the dinner and reception music. A perfect added touch. I would definitely recommend Cleveland Music Group to anyone!

  Cleveland Vault/Rock Hall of Fame Gig

  Tony Howard was a pleasure to work with. Very responsive, knowledgeable, and his selections were spot on. I gave him very little time to work and he came through in more ways than one.

  My corporate client was shocked by the quality and professionalism of the two artists we hired very last minute. Laura Varcho and her guys were the perfect musical accompaniment for our speakeasy themed event and went out of their way to match the theme and genre requests.

  Nate Jones braved the early May Cleveland cold to welcome our guests to the Rock N Hall of Fame. He arrived early and played beyond his contracted time because of shifting timelines. Great mix of classic and modern hits. I even caught him playing songs from OH heroes The Black Keys! Perfect combination of local flavor for such hallowed grounds.

  Our Wedding Music

  Nate Jones and his backup singer Michelle played the most beautiful music at our wedding ceremony and reception! They added the perfect touch to the wedding and I haven’t stopped hearing compliments since! From Beatles to Calvin Harris, old, new, fast, and slow. They did it all (better than originals!) We loved the instrumental and vocals more than we could ever explain.
